The same 24/7 AI receptionist job (answering, booking, triaging, PMS writeback) plus AI clinical notes and a full insurance suite in one flat-priced platform. Answers in 29 languages, connects to 60+ PMS bidirectionally, and publishes every price. Also dentist-built, by Jordan Thomas, DMD.
Best for: Practices that want reception, clinical notes, and insurance in one platform with transparent pricing from $79.99/mo, especially multilingual practices or anyone not on AiroDental's four PMS.
A healthcare-wide voice AI receptionist with serious scale (5M+ calls handled per their site). Strong call automation and reminder calling; healthcare-generic rather than dental-native, quote-only pricing, and published dental integrations are European.
Best for: Multi-specialty or multi-location groups that want one proven voice AI across medical and dental.
Four purpose-built AI agents for dental front offices, purchased individually, with optional VoIP phones. Dental-specific like AiroDental, and similarly quote-only.
Best for: Practices that want to start with one narrow agent and add more piecemeal.
Remote human front-office staff by the hour instead of AI. Slower to scale and priced per hour, but some practices prefer a person handling nuanced calls.
Best for: Practices that want human judgment on the phones and have budget for hourly staffing.
AiroDental does not publish pricing. Laine is sold as 'tailored solutions' priced by practice size and call volume, and the number is revealed only after you contact sales. There's no public rate card and, as a young company, few third-party data points on what practices actually pay. That doesn't mean the price is bad. It means you can't know it, or compare it, without entering their sales process.
Intake.Dental publishes flat, all-in tiers: Solo $79.99, Multi $179.99, AI Receptionist $499.99, and Autopilot $999.99 per month. No per-seat or per-message fees, clinical notes and insurance suite included. Every price is on the pricing page today.
AiroDental doesn't publish pricing: Laine is quoted per practice after you contact sales, based on practice size and call volume. Intake.Dental's equivalent tiers are published: the AI Receptionist tier is $499.99/mo flat, with lower tiers from $79.99.
If you want the same dentist-built AI receptionist with more included, Intake.Dental adds clinical notes, a full insurance suite, 29 languages, and 60+ PMS integrations at flat published prices. If you're comparing other quote-only dental AI vendors, Vocca and Savvy Agents are the closest peers.
Four are listed: Open Dental, Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, and CareStack. If you run anything else (Eaglesoft, Curve, Denticon, and so on) you'd need an alternative. Intake.Dental connects to 60+ PMS with bidirectional sync plus a PDF-email fallback.
No: Laine handles reception and its companion product Saige handles staff SOPs and training. AI clinical notes and insurance workflows (eligibility, claims, denial repair, EOB posting) aren't part of the platform; Intake.Dental includes both.
AiroDental is a real competitor built by a credible dental founder, and if you're on one of its four PMS and want Saige's staff-training tooling, get the quote and weigh it. But most practices evaluating it are really shopping for an AI receptionist that just works, and there, the comparison favors the platform with published pricing, 29 languages, 60+ PMS, and clinical notes and insurance already included. That's Intake.Dental, from $79.99/mo.
AiroDental is a credible, dentist-founded AI receptionist: Laine answers 24/7, books into your PMS, and texts patients, paired with Saige for staff SOPs and training. The friction points practices hit are consistent: pricing is quote-only, PMS support is limited to four systems, multilingual support isn't advertised, and the platform stops at reception. No clinical notes, no insurance workflow. Here are the alternatives worth evaluating, and what each actually costs.
